Persian Empire Gold Daric Xerxes II-Artexerxes CHMS NGC

Considered a 'Type Three' Persian Gold Daric, this razor sharp example has survived the past 2,400+ years in a remarkable state of preservation. The obverse of the coin depicts the Persian Hero-King in lifelike form ready to attack the enemy with bow and spear in-hand.

The reverse has an incuse punch that occurred when the coin was struck. Type 3 gold darics in mint state condition are difficult to locate, particularly at this price point and level of eye appeal.
